The Importance Of Staff Wellbeing At The Hazeley Academy
Welcome to The Hazeley Academy. We are part of the successful and growing 5 Dimensions Trust, working alongside Shenley Brook End School and Priory Rise School. And we aspire to make The Hazeley Academy the very best place to work or study. This mission is embedded in our values:
We aim to grow a vibrant community of exceptional people through our 5Cs of Character, Confidence, Creativity, Contribution, and Community.
It comes to life through our actions:
- We all make decisions based on these actions e.g. if you make an honest mistake, we work together to put it right.
- All staff have 5-year flight paths, helping them to develop and grow securely while working at The Hazeley Academy.
- Staff feedback is used to continually sharpen systems and processes to reduce staff workload e.g. we have reduced the number of assessment points for each Year group; created an on-call system; created a central detention system.
- All our policies meet at least the teachers’ pay and conditions and for support staff those outlined in the green book. We always aspire to go far beyond.
